My favorite pizza place in the entire Bay Area or maybe in the entire world. How is that possible… just one type of pizza everyday… that too vegetarian only. That is impossible to explain mile long lines, and all those people buying boxes after boxes of pizzas. I guess you just have to experience it. I have been a customer since last 8 years or so. And even though I don’t live in Berkeley… I find myself traveling 40 miles to get their pizza and that beloved green sauce. Maybe the green sauce is the magic. Or the extra small slice when you order a whole pie. The love and care not just shows in the pizza crust… the choice of cheese or topping combinations but the way they treat their customers and also their employees. The quality of everything is phenomenal. Keep it up folks… open a sister location in Pleasanton if you can :)

Vast cheese options, daily (when open) pizza of the day and baked goods.

Good, but not great pizza like Naples style. But the crust was good in its own way and the ingredients tasted fresh. The salad tasted straight out of the garden. The ginger cookies were amazing. Big portions, good quality, long line but it moves fast because theres only one choice of pizza, either whole (large) $22 or half $11. Good deal, nice, efficient service.

Holy Buck this place it lit. Ive been here so many times and its crazy good. After baking the pizza they put it on a huge flatiron and the bottom gets so crispy and the cheesey is ooey gooey and the toppings r always so well done. I would recommend always - check their online website before coming tho, hours r obscure and they have limited offerings due to covid at the moment.

One of the best places in the Bay area. Excellent live music only bested by the excellence of the pizza. I miss sitting outside with a beer and a slice watching the people pass by. A nice escape from the stress of student life.

We slightly burned the pizza - but it was still FAN-TASTIC! :D the surprise grab bag of cheeses is also a fun treat! Make sure to ask what cheeses are included - they arent labeled in the bag.

To the nearby (especially non-home-cooking) student communities nearby this is a haven and a great pizza one at that. Also for vegetarian choice from a purely veggie place.Buy and finish it in same session of day (preferably within the hour).But if you are wanting to carry out for longer periods (or far distances in hopes of retaining the quality after reheating), this is a huge disappointment: becomes leather technology quickly.Other than that its taste is out of the world - no comparison. The green sauce, adds additional otherworldly pep to it - when used in moderation

Theres a reason why theyve been around a long time. Simple, well made artisan pizza. Theres always a line, but it moves quickly. The spicy green sauce is a must! Its a peppery take on chimichurri. Every day is different. Check there website before arriving.

By far the best pizza place ever. You get what they serve you on a given day. All vegetarian. You wouldn’t believe it’s a vegetarian pizza! Incredibly rich flavor and perfect texture. You need to take it out and sit on the grassy area on shattuck to fully enjoy the experience. Highly recommend it.

Pros:- how unique and delicious. You wont find a place like this. Never did I ever think Id fall in love with a pizza that had purple cabbage as its main topping.Cons:- very expensive. Plan to spend a pretty penny here. Its an experience, but not your go-to restaurant.

If you haven’t been here, come now. Seriously. Best pizza hands down, period. Best part? It’s vegetarian! They have vegan as well. If you don’t want to wait in line, come right before they open. Otherwise, I promise you the wait is worth it.Their pizza is so well made! the bread has a crunchy chewyness that is oh-so satisfying. The flavor is out of this world, and its affordable. You won’t regret it. Just come.

Visited on a Saturday around noon and waited in line for about about 10/15minsI really appreciate how it’s no longer self serve because of covid. You order and pay at the cashier and all the items are packed to go. As you are waiting in line there are photos of the items on the window. They will cross out one’s that get sold out.When we got the pizza it looked so good we ordered a second one on the spot. Luckily one of their staff was able to ring our order without us having to wait in line again. That was very nice of them :)Their pizza is half baked so it’s not ready to eat. Which is fine since we prefer to eat at the comfort of home.Their website suggests to preheat oven at 400F and then heat for 5-8mins depending on your oven.We heated on a cast iron plate for 6mins and it came out delicious. Not sure how they are able to keep the crust so thin and well structured.Must visit and order if you ever in the neighborhood.

So good. Got the one with fig and blue cheese. It was soooooo delicious. Also got salad with orange dressing-not so for my taste but it was okay.

Garlicy goodness! Long wait though.

Best pizza in the game! The crust is what makes it. Its divine.You HAVE to go to Cheeseboard.

Nice chewy cheesy pizza, great crust.

I would definitely like to give this place another try. The pizza was good and the green salsa they provide is absolutely delicious. This salsa works its magic on pretty much any dish you want savoury. Queue to grab a pizza is long but it moves super fast. Most people take the pizza togo but there are few spots right in the front of the store to sit/stand and eat.

My friend was telling me about this place fromLong time ago and we got to go there yesterday and the place was nice! I would say you should not miss on this type of specialty pizza secretly located in towns and not available to all like dominozz or papa johns...Even during the pandemic, there was this huge line across the block which showed me how much people are interested in their pizza and when i got my Friday Pizza, (yeah it looks like you get certain type of pizza based on what day it is.), wow it was perfectly thin, a little lemon tang, which i never had it with pizza before... their green sauce felt like some indian chutney which complimented the taste of pizza!We did felt it was worth riding 1hour just for that pizza 🍕 😋

Best pizza on earth. Line is super long most of the time but it moves fast. On weekend evening, expect to wait in line for about 20-30 minutes to get carry out pizza. When the restaurant was open before the pandemic, it was hard to get a table. But there was live band performing in most nights. Despite the long line, it’s still well worth it!

As of June 2021, still no dining in try but there are a few permanent communal tables in front. Theres also a small area to recycle your used pizza boxes. Their signature creamy green sauce is flavorful and very spicy! Whole pies only no slices for sale.

We ate here regularly when we lived in El Cerrito. Their pizza is absolutely the best -even better than the pizzas we had in New York or Italy. The corn pizza is to die for. They also have local jazz combos playing while you wait, which is really nice.

Just so much fun. One type of great pizza a day, long lines that move fast, packed seating but something always opens up, great crowd, easy water and condiments, plus live music. This is the best of Berkeley!

The base of crust and excellent cheese cant be beat, and their topping combos are so so good. Ive loved everything Ive had here and think its worth the wait if the line is around the block. Theyre so efficient with preparing the pizzas it really feels like no time at all.

Best pizza I ever had。love it。

Loved the sourdough crust and fresh tasting pizza. One slice gets you two slices.. thats their style.

I sometimes worry that the pizza’s will be too strange for my liking. However, I have not found that to be the case, they are always delicious! The line may be discouraging but it normally moves quick enough. I love Cheeseboard pizza

Always a great experience. The bakery dude is open early, cheese side meat open later.Parking on the street is usually available.You cant miss on anything there! Beads, cheese, coffee and other treats. So good!

Do not worry about the long line. Just get in it. It goes incredibly fast. The pizza is fantastic. The salad was excellent, too. And dont skip the green sauce. Yum.

Delicous pizza!! Well worth the line, and the line moves very quickly!

This place is awesome! Only one kind of pizza a day. Check their website to find out what will be served. Be prepared to wait in line, but the line moves fast. You can eat there or take to go. Seating is limited inside and there is seating outside. Its a come as you are kind of place. Entertainment can be heard inside and out. You can buy great wine and beer, plus soda water etc. All pizzas are meatless, but its not missed. The flavor is amazing. Make sure to try the green sauce, its spicy, but delicious.

Good, not great...love the unique combos, but too heavy on the cheese for my taste. Made the pie oily and really heavy. Ate it hot in the car after a trip to IKEA, good way to end day. Wouldnt drive from SF just for the pizza, but maybe for the green sauce! That was outstanding.

Good pizza, long lines. 1 pizza feeds 4 and try to look up the menu online. It changes from time to time

Line stretches down and around the block at 5:30pm so be prepared!

The best pizza I have ever had. They have never made a pizza that Ive disliked. Definitely a must-go when in Berkeley.

The best fresh baked goods in the area. Also, a great variety of cheese, every kind almost. Fresh coffee. My faves are the Corn Cherry Scone and the Pecan Roll. Cheese roll is delicious too.

All star pizza spot.The wait is worth it.Everything from the price, pizza, live music to the papi chulo hot sauce was a 5-star experience.22.5 for a delicious pie? Yes please.

Great pizza, Wonder full cheese selection, as well as great olives varieties. And its employee co-op, I love to support a non billionaire track businesses where I know where my money goes, support of the real community. So, yes, I love that place, I leave across the Bay from them, and its a pain to go there, but hell, I love the environment there and their food offerings! You will not be disappointed, go there, enjoy!

Very efficient, the line looks long but moves super fast. Pizza was good, only downside is you have one choice and hopefully you like it. We had a good pizza so definitely enjoyed the experience

The Holy Grail of Pizza if you know you know but if you dont go and wait in whatever line you see! wait, its amazing

This northern California institution offers local and seasonal ingredients on a simple but delicious pizza. Definitely one of the best pizzas in the Bay area.

Always a good meal to enjoy. The daily flavors are something to look forward to

Pizza is amazingly good despite having no meat at all. Im a meat-lover-pizza person but I will be a regular customer whenever Im around the area especially now that Im aware that they change their pizza flavors based on what veggies are in season (so fresh). Theres a long line when we got there but its all worth it.

Cheese expertise that earns 5 stars is demonstrated at The Cheeseboard Pizza Collective in Berkley California. If you enjoy your local markets array of cheeses you will marvel over The Cheeseboards QUANTUM EXPANSION of cheese mastery and all the sights and smells that attend.

Berkeley famous, staff-operated shop serves one type of pizza and salad per day but with quality. Cheeseboard is known for its staple tomato or corn topping pizzas, and its spicy pesto. So if you check out their website and theyre serving one of those two options, Id recommend stopping by.

Good vegetarian pizza. Get the cilantro sauce as a dip to Pizza and it tastes great. One Pizza is enough for a family of 4.

Love the concept of the collective cooperative run places, where the workers also own the place. The pizza was good, with fresh ingredients and a nice chewy-ish crust. Did not expect to like the green salsa sauce, but loved the freshness it brought to the pizza. Deducting one star coz only veg options

Amazing pizza. I was surprised by how good it was. Ive had pizza all over the country and as a New Yorker it was pretty refreshing to have pizza that was different from what I believe to be true and good pizza. For me, thats a plain thin crust pizza, no toppings so you can enjoy the main ingredients - tomato sauce, cheese, and the dough. At the Cheeseboard, were talking about pizza with no tomato sauce topped with potatoes, red onions, garlic and cheese, grilled on top of a flat top as soon as it comes out of the oven! Then you top that with the pappi chulo sauce, which is a cilantro cream/oil sauce. The combination of ingredients and method of cooking the pizza is definitely a departure from what I know to be my thought on good pizza, but it works and it tastes great. Highly recommended. Note: there is only one type of pizza served daily and its not served everyday. The pizzas change as the fresh northern Californian produce available to the Cheeseboard changes.

Wow. So good. This place totally lives up to the hype! A whole pizza was $22! There were four of us and it was just the right amount of food. However, I truly believe I couldve eaten a whole one by myself. It was that good!

A Berkeley institution slinging a single different vegetarian pizza everyday. Even a meat lover like me is smitten by their their think crispy crust and creative toppings at a great value. Casual order at the counter atmosphere.

Nice concept, lovely staff, one pizza to choose from - I like it. But the Pizza is overrated! Now dont get me wrong ; its a good pizza, but like I said - overrated!

One of my all time favorite spots.

I dont think you can ever go wrong with Cheeseboard. Hands down my favorite pizza of the east bay. The corn pizza is a must have when its on the menu.

Always be sure to go to pick up and inform them you need any specialty like Gluten free or Vegan. I had some judgemental glares from other customers, despite a sign saying to do so before lining up. Food is always delicious, but the vegan option didnt cook as well as previous. It was still tasty, but the cheese didnt feel like the cashew based cheese they used. Maybe its in my head, but the pizza had a sour taste from the tomatoes.

They are fast, so dont fret if you see a long line! This is because they offer one type of pizza per day. Pretty oily, almost no sauce. Depending on your preference, it might be ideal for you. The green sauce is a must. Sometimes you get amazing creative days, sometimes not - keeps you on your toes, and one less decision to make. I usually put arugula on top when I get home.

Classic Berkeley spot a must try for anyone dont be shy the long lines move fast.

Perfect gourmet pizza along with a mexican coke and molasses cookie. The pizza of course is amazing. The day I went they had a mushroom pizza as the pizza-of-the-day. I waited maybe 10 minutes around 12:30 which isnt too bad considering it was lunch hour. While they are known for their pizza, dont forget to get a cookie. The molasses cookie was thick, soft, and a perfect sweetness.

Scones were too big. Had to get 2 at a time when I visited.

Visited the place as a result of all the hype. The Cheeseboard Pizza is a part of the The Cheeseboard Bakery which is the actual place to take a look at, here. The pizzeria offers one pizza and one salad a day, changed daily. It is located in a busy part of San Francisco so dont expect to find parking easily. We reached 30min ahead of the 4:30pm opening time and were still about 10th in line. Ordering is easy but there are a very limited number of seats, take out is recommended. The day we went, we got a potato and feta based pizza which was well made, tasted great, was fresh with a thin crust and golden baked edges. It was a tad on the greasy side, but ate well. 5 for taste and experience with the hype, -1 for the sheer difficulty in being able to sit down with a slice of pizza.

Tired of making choices of what to eat? Here you have the option of vegetarian pizza, with or without salad, plus dessert and drinks. Theres also amazing live music, even during the week! Tips: 1) credit card accepted now; 2) the pizza is best when its hot, but the crust is super crunchy so chew slowly.

Amazing pizza with delicious cilantro sauce!

Delish!!! Line can be long but definitely worth the wait. Live music!! Great ingredients, great taste!!! Must visit!!

A definite Berkeley must! They only serve one type of pizza each day but it is always delicious. The line might look long, but it moves very fast and you receive your pizza almost instantaneously. If you enjoy spice, I highly recommend ordering their green Papi Chulo sauce/salsa, which can be lathered on top of the pizza or you can dip your crust in it!

The Cheese Board Bakery is a Berkeley gem. Their cheeses, breads, pastries...they’re all good. Savoring a gruyere cheese roll and a cup of coffee is one of the best ways to spend a morning.

This place has a 9 hour work week.

The line moves pretty quickly, there’s only one flavour per day. Very tasty vegetarian pizza!

This place is awesome! The food is always good... but they support local music, farms and community. A prime example of how to do business.

I am telling the place make me belief in the pizza again! No options but delicious for all the peoples

Awesome. Simply Awesome. Nothing more Nothing Less, just go get your slice.

Don’t be intimidated by the line, it moves fast! Amazing pizza. Get the green sauce!!

Long line that moves quickly. Good pizza. Just one kind. Bakery seems to be closed right now.

I got their strawberry muffins and they were very good. They have pizza and salad after 5.

Really delicious pizzas, well priced and quick service. Buy it by a slice/half/full. Indoor and outdoor seating

I love this place! Finally after years of wanting to come here the stars aligned and I made it! And I was not disappointed! The vibe first and foremost is what you dream your local pizza shop is. The out door seating is amazing and they also have indoor seating. They had a band playing beautiful bluesy jazz and it really just sets the vibe. The line is long but honestly not that long. Also the line never gets short! I like that. It means what they are serving is the best! If you go with friends head into the next door affiliated market with an extensive cheese list, coffee, dips, and bread! I mean you can’t help but not get something from the store. They serve one pizza a day and generally are vegetarian which is lucky for me! The pizza had small slivers of broccoli, lemon zest, garlic and probably a few more ingredients that I am forgetting. AMAZING Stuff! They also have there delicious secret sauce that I wish I could get shipped to my front door. So spicy so flavorful I just had to buy some to go home with! They have beer and sodas to choose from. Can’t go wrong with a classic mexi coke in a glass bottle. This girl is a happy customer!!! Thank you cheeseboard for your delicious pizza and excellent service!!! I forgot to mention the staff is super friendly and nice! Wish I could give them 10 stars. Cheers!

Whenever I visit Berkeley this is the place is a MUST visit or the whole trip would be considered a bust. The cheese is amazing and all of the toppings perfectly complemented each other. My husband was sceptical of potatoes on pizza but was converted after one bite. Highly recommend coming here for the pizza. Definitely worth the wait.

They only serve one style of pizza a day, ONE!!! I actually didnt know that upon arrival but wow...it is phenomenal, let me tell you! Their 4.5 star rating didnt come outta nowhere...can I just rave about their papi chulo green salsa?! Just load this on top of every slice and youre golden, honestly, GOLDEN!Of course you can customize your pizza, but why would you? Its perfect the way it comes! Lines around the corner, but dont worry, it moves fast as they come prepared! The moment you order you get your pizza right away! Hell, get two or three...you just cant go wrong! Now...on to the pizza itself! Crispy thin crust, pretty greasy I will admit but loaded with mushrooms which made up for the trail of slickness running down my arm! Arugula galore...cheese melted to a lovely golden brown!Live music, enjoy the aroma of melted cheese and dough, fresh and trendy...cant wait to come back! Make sure to grab some cheese and bread next door as well!

Being lactose intolerant doesnt stop me from coming here. Their cheese selection and plethora of breads/ready to eat foods are there waiting for you to make the best adult Lunchables of all time. Their par-baked pizzas have been essential the last few months, but I always forget to ask for green sauce (dont make my mistake).

Five-star rating is underrating for this place. They only serve one kind of pizza a day. I got to taste their mozarella with arucola pizza, dipped in papi chulo sauce. It was fantastic. Make sure you check out their store next door too. They bake fresh bread (scones & muffins too!). Its also possible to order sandwich and coffee/tea.

Cheeseboard is a Berkeley staple. Expect a line out the door pretty much anytime it’s open. The lines move fast however as they only serve one type of pizza a day, limiting options to sizes (single slices for $2.75+tax, half a pizza for $11+ tax or a whole pie for $22+ tax). Heads up to the meat eaters they are strictly vegetarian.The pizza is good quality and the prices are reasonable. I’ve been a few times over the years and while it’s good pizza and a good price, i’ve never been “wowed” by the taste.Good, respectable pizza but i’ve always thought it was a bit over-ratted.Some days they’ll have live music in the joint which provides a really nice atmosphere.

Cheeseboard rocks! Whether it is their delicious sourdough pizza or their bakery nextdoor. The bakery is quite spacious with a huge list of cheeses - no kidding! They have all kinds of them from cow milk, sheep milk etc, a proper feta section and they also have kashkaval - no ways!!! Local and imported cheeses. If youre a cheese lover, then you must come here at least once.Few other items from their bakery such as fresh bread, scones, cookies etc and packed salads and also ready made pizza dough WHOA! Prices are tad higher than Arizmendi in Oakland though. Coffee/tea/hot chocolate stand also present inside the bakery :)Definitely do check out the bakery as well as their pizzas! Great stuff.

Wow! They literally have a few hundred different kinds of cheese. I tried the smoked Gouda. It was fantastic and I enjoyed it with their sourdough baguette. Their cheese roll was also delicious. They also sell half-baked pizzas that you can take home and finish baking. Theyre handy when you want a Cheeseboard pizza but want to avoid their line next door.

Very interesting concept. I like how it’s vegetarian🍄🥗. I wish the vegan pizza would come in a slice 🍕and not a whole pizza. The pizza tasted and smelled really good but it was really greasy. The service is fast, obviously. The green sauce is great and spicy and super good.

Great pizza unless the day you show up is something you do not like. Most of the time there is a long line, but they move it quickly. I have been going here for years and most of the time it is a 5-star pizza. However sometimes the quality is off, the last few visits have been great. There was a time when we were given an under-cooked pizza or it was far too oily.

My saved

Great food but baguettes no longer 😬... Now a bag of 6 sour squares (3 seeded & 3 not)

Very good baked products, though quite expensive. Their scons and muffins are great. Its a pretty small shop & its usually very crowded. They are often closed during the standard opening hours, I guess thats what you can afford to do when your business is very popular.

They serve one kind of pizza each day. Was there on a Friday, and one of the toppings was roasted potatoes. Loved the way they pan fry pizzas to make the crust very crispy. The ambience was amazing. The lines can get really long especially on Fridays, but it’s worth the wait!!

Cheeseboard pizza is one of the unique pizzerias with fantastic tasting pizzas. Ive had fortune of being a regular customer here.The taste and quality of the pizza talks for itself. Every day a new flavour of pizza is served. The flavor of the day can be checked on their website before you can make a trip to the location.In my opinion, all the flavours are crafted very well to provide a mouth watering experience that leaves one with a satisfied feeling in the belly. Their pizzas are especially helpful when you have an Hangry spouse or kid you desperately need to calm down.They also provide a salsa dip for their pizzas which is nothing short of lip smackingly tasty to say the least.Parking spots are right outside the shop which are rarely empty. There is seating inside and on the sidewalk. They usually have very good live music performances in the evenings.They are super popular and the queue lines attest to this statement. They usually extend upto the closest street corner. However, Ive never had to wait more than 15-20 mins to get a pizza due to their super fast and excellent service.Id wholeheartedly recommend Cheeseboard to all pizza lovers and non lovers without reservations.

This is amazingly good Pizza. Its this crust and $22 for a whole pizza. The evening we went, the pizza was a goat cheese pizza, which was relly great. The cheese is from the cheese shop next door and was cooked to perfection. The crust was crunchy and delicious. This Pizza rivals Tonys Pizza slice house in San Francisco. It was that good. Eat out only. There was a line but it moved quicky. The founder sadly recently, having staryed the business in 1951.This Pizza is WOW. You can taste the olive oil and slight hint of onion. We brought another to have tbe next day. It was that good.

Amazing pizza! great prices on cheese. good music

Very yummy pizza!! Simple menu makes ordering easy. I’d recommend getting the green sauce too, but it’s a little spicy. Prices are a little high for what you’re getting and the line is pretty long.

Always fabulous pizza and always a fast moving line. A must-eat when in Berkeley! Live jazz music nightly.

Cant give an honest review because I couldnt get close due to the line to get in was outrageous

It’s not a visit to Berkeley without Cheeseboard.

One of my favorite places in Berkeley! Theres usually a line around lunch time, but it goes by pretty quickly. Food here is great, especially the pizza!

The pizza changes every day, always vegetarian, always delicious! My group got 2.5 pizzas for 6 people and we barely finished it. If youve got people with bigger stomachs that would be the perfect amount.I dont think they ever do red sauce, its generally just cheese and toppings.

I enjoyed their daily special pizza. The pizza was AMAZING!

This place has quickly become my go-to spot when visiting the Bay Area. Delicious pizza! My most recent trip was particularly memorable. While on the way, I thought to myself “man, I could get 2 pies and save one for later but I really shouldn’t... that’s a lot of pizza”. I get to the window and order 1 pie. Then go to the pick up window and get handed TWO pies. Apparently they had some extra par-baked pies and somehow read my mind and gave me one. Needless to say there were delicious pizza filled days that followed.

Covid review : at the moment pizzas were only available half cooked. No slices only whole pies. The best specialty pie by far A+

Just love their pizza. people are nice and friendly. but its nearly impossible to get a table on the weekends.

The Pizza is so good. The cheese just makes it spectacular. The green sauce is amazing!
